CP
CP, or crafting points, are required to use some certain crafting actions. When playing a Disciple of the Hand, the CP bar replaces the MP bar.
CP regenerates fully after ending a craft (regardless of success), but does not naturally regenerate while crafting, though there are a few actions that can restore CP during a craft.
CP is generally considered the most important crafting attribute, because a minimum amount of CP is required to complete a given crafting rotation. That being said, CP is a "threshold" stat where you need enough for the rotation, but any extra is worthless.
CP stat caps on gear tend to be low, with the cap being easily reached with one endgame materia, and possibly one low-grade materia to supplement it. The CP cap on tools is especially low, reachable with one low-grade materia.
